Missy Elliott should be mentioned as one of music’s greats! As much as people admire her talent, we don’t believe enough credit is given to her. That is why we chose to do this post. To remind you of just how creatively great she is. What we love most about Missy Elliott is that she broke the mold. She made music FUN and she knew how to visually captivate us. Only second to Michael Jackson, her videos had you counting down to their release. Here’s why:
One of our favorite songs of all time is “Ladies Night” featuring hip-hop all-stars Lil’ Kim, Da Brat, Missy Elliot, Angie Martinez, and Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopez. As much as hip-hop was hard, raw, and for the guys…this song really showed how women could come together (make some money) and have a little fun!
Enjoy the nostalgia!
We’ve all been watching Anna Dello Russo for a while now. The Editor-at-Large and Creative Consultant for Vogue Japan has been popping up on almost every street blog imaginable. We are excited to announce her new collection with H&M, slated to come out October 4th. I feel like this collection will be a collection fashion girls understand. And yes, we will be buying a few pieces! We especially recommend hitting up the accessories. ANYWAY, this is probably the best commercial for a collaboration in years, as it is very true to Anna Dell Russo’s style. Check it out then take ‘a fashion shower’!
We are HUGE fans of Beyonce over here at MOSAMUSE! We would like to send the singer love and well-wishes on her birthday! Here are some of our favorites from Beyonce:
Let us just make the statement…we finally have a new music favorite. It took a long time for us to get back on the bandwagon when it came to music because everything was either a gimmick or just too far out there. With the exception of Gaga’s talent we had no one NEW to really listen to who actually had a legitimate voice/look/direction. This led us to endless days with Beyonce, Cee-lo, Aaliyah, Outkast, and TLC playing in our ipods. So 90s right? We know. But now Azealia Banks is bringing the flavor of the 90s to this era…and doing it oh so perfectly.
What do we love most about Azealia Banks?….

As I look at the entertainment industry, it’s hard not to be bored from the “spot-filling” women in music who are backed by big business. I guess I can’t knock big business for adopting the ‘if its not broke-why fix it mentality?”, but as consumers our interest falls flat after a while. Where is the innovation? There are about 4 spots that the music industry fills on an annual basis- “sexy”, “shy/cute”, “hip/cool” and “rock”. If you look at the scope of music industry, you can basically categorize each artist into these four groups. Solely looking at the superstars in the industry you see the categorization as follows: Beyonce- “sexy”. P!nk- “rock”. Taylor Swift- “Shy/cute”. And Gwen Stefani- “hip/cool”. The new generation is continuing the pattern. Katy Perry- “sexy”. Melia “rock”, Vanessa Hudgens “Shy/cute”. Rihanna- “hip/cool”. This concept is most prevalent in music, but can also be seen across the spectrum of “celebrity”…and the categorization is even prevalent in types of magazines, publications, and television networks targeting young women. So who is to blame for this categorization… us or them?
This has been a fun week in style! Gaga covered Vogue, Balmain showed off an amazing collection, Vogue Italia showed us great style, Wiz Khalifa showed off his new album cover, and people even used a 40 oz as style inspiration! We found some fun things for you to wrap up your week with! Tell us your thoughts!
Philly girl and Grammy Award winning songstress Pink is now the face of CoverGirl. The powerhouse singer (with some of the most amazing song lyrics in the biz) can now add “CoverGirl” to her long list of credits. We love her look and style, and seeing her in person showed us just how beautiful and fabulous she really is! What do you think of the teaser ad?
